 The battle over Anna Nicole Smith’s body continued today. Both Howard K. Stern and Virgie Arthur are fighting over who should get custody of Smith’s remains. Larry Birkhead’s attorneys are also involved in the hearing and are siding with Arthur.
The morning got off to a cordial start but the courtroom quickly turned chaotic after debates over the paternity issues came into play. Judge Seidlin made it clear he would like to preside over the paternity issues involving Dannielynn. "If there is no objection by the parties here today,” Judge Seidlin said, “I'm going to assume jurisdiction of the paternity matters."
Stern’s attorney, Krista Barth, strongly objected to Seidlin. Barth has had to remind Seidlin on several occasions that the hearing is to determine who should receive custody of Smith’s remains, not who the father of Dannielynn is or any other paternity issues revolving around the case.
While all the arguing was going back and forth, Krista Barth stood up and told the judge that Larry Birkhead’s attorney, Debra Opri, just told her client, Howard K. Stern, that he killed Anna Nicole Smith. Seidlin moved the deliberations into his chambers to discuss the matter without the media present.
